I peered outside the safe room wondering when Allison was going to come back. I decided to build up my courage and go look for her it been at least 5 hours, I grabbed my 9mm and stuck it in my jacket pocket. I pushed open the heavy safe room door and went to look though all the stores nearby, I spotted a gorcery store and went to check that first. I carefully pulled open the automatic doors watching my surroundings. To be honest, I haven't been out here alone before so I've never been scratched or bitten how is that? My friend Allison was a state marksmen champion before the world went to shit, I try to hold myself but I'm a horrible shot she's tried to teach me but I can't get the hang of it.. so I guess I'm kind of useless. I kept searching nearby stores but I couldn't find her, I sighed and turned around to head back to the safe room when a highpitched scream came from a clothing store, I bolted inside, I saw a Smoker start dragging Allison away his tounge wrapped around her waist. I followed the tounge with my eyes and located him seeing him perched on the second floor railing, I aimed my pistol and shot the first three missed but the fourth hit because Allison wasn't screaming anymore, I ran up to her and she sprung up.

"What the hell Rose?" She yelled obviously worried about my safety.

"I was worried you were gone for like five hours." I crossed my arms, she stared at me with intense eyes.

"What did I tell you?" She placed her hands on her hips, I rolled my eyes.

"If you don't come back, move on." I said in a mocked voice, she smiled.

"Let's head back to the safe room." I nodded and followed her, a screech rang through the empty building. We both looked for the Hunter. Allison walked ahead of me by a couple of feet just to check around the corner and the next thing I knew something had me pinned, I looked forward staring at the Hunter's red eyes, he gave me a devilish grin and slashed his claws deeply into my right arm blood spraying over my face and into my long brown hair. Allison attempted to kill the Hunter but he was too fast for her, she muttered cuss words under her breath. My wound oozed thick hot blood, Allison help me up and practically carried me back to the safe room.

"Rose..." She said as tears filled her eyes, I looked at her.

"It's not your fault, plus I could be immune like you." I tried to cheer her up, she gave me a clearly fake smile before I passed out from the oncoming fever. I woke up in the middle of the night with a cloth bandage around my arm, I sat up a wave of nausea came over me, I ran into the washroom and started vomiting. I guess Allison heard me because I felt a hand press against my back, When my vomit session was over Allison helped me go back to sit down.

"I d-don't think I'm immune." I said as my body started to shake, I gave a weak laugh, Allison just stared at me.

"I can't kill you Rose." Tears started to fall from her eyes.

"But I don't want to become one of those things." I wrapped the spare blanket around my frigid body.

"I can't have my best friend's blood on my hands." I sighed.

"Then leave, I can't let you see me become one of those things, take all the food an weapons." She looked at me like I was crazy, I would think so too by the way I was thinking, before she could open her mouth to protest I threw her my bag and pointed at the door.

"Just go Ally." She bent down and gave me hug then quickly left before I could say good-bye. I sighed I was all alone now, I get to suffer through the transformation all alone. I decided to try to just sleep through all the pain before I change. I awoke sometime during the day my body was covered in sweat, my head spun like crazy, I guess the infection was spreading faster than I expected. I felt like I was suffocating so I slowly got up my legs feeling like jelly, I just wanted some fresh air, I sighed pushing open the huge metal door taking a deep raspy breath . I just sat outside for about half an hour before my body told me it's time to sleep again, I walked into the safe room closing the door behind me. I re-wrapped myself in the blanket my body felt like it was completely frozen, I wondered when I was going to finally change the fever is killing me... literally. I laid my head against the concrete and started to cry, i didn't want to become one of them but I definitely could't shoot myself. I had no choice in this matter I kept crying until my body got to tired and I blacked out. When I woke up the next morning I didn't feel any nausea and no fever was my transformation over? I went to pull my blanket off my skin when giant claws ripped through the tattered fabric, I stared at my hand in horror, then I knew what I turned into... I turned into a witch.
